Promoting Your Organization

The following suggestions are ways to increase your organization's exposure on campus and create brand-awareness amongst the students.  Many of these are a great way to maintain a presence even if you are not actively hiring.

Information Sessions and Presentations
Hire a Co-op Student
Conduct a Workshop
Volunteer in Our Office
Cornell Alumni in Your Organization


Information Sessions and Presentations

Sessions early in the semester raise student awareness about your organization and the opportunities you have to offer.  It is most effective when you simultaneously have open positions advertised and follow up a few weeks later with on-campus interviews.

We encourage the use of student arranged information sessions.  Please use this listand choose a student organization of your choice to assist you in arranging your information session.  The student organization, for a fee, will reserve you an appropriate room on the Engineering quad, handle catering (if you choose) and advertise the event.


Hire a Co-op Student

Have you considered hiring a Co-op student?  Many employers use this not only as a pipeline for full-time hires, but also because the Co-op student serves as an ambassador for your organization upon returning to campus. Through participation in Mock Interviews, presenting in engineering classes, and writing reports about their experience at your organization, they publicize the benefits of working for your organization.  Complete information about the Engineering Cooperative Education Program.


Conduct a Workshop

Present an evening workshop from one of the many our office conducts through out the academic year.  You can present on topics such as: "Benefits of a Small Organization," "Interview Tips," "Business Etiquette” or propose a topic you’d like to present on.  Check out our most recent calendar.
